Happy Friday!! After a busy week at school, I am thrilled that it is finally the weekend. Today was such a long day at school, and I made the mistake of not eating lunch before my physical assessment workshop so during most of it all I could think about was FOOD. OK, usually all I think about is food… but this afternoon was especially bad. In the middle of learning how to do a neurological examination, I was dreaming of making dinner when I got home. My mind was stuck on this incredible spicy tofu appetizer I shared with my friend at lunch the other day, and how badly I wanted more of it. On my way home, I looked at their menu and found a few ingredients they used in the dish listed underneath it. I used those as inspiration, and added whatever I thought would taste good to the tofu! It came out a little different, but just as good. It is so flavorful, and I love the addition of garlic! If you don’t like spicy, omit the cayenne pepper – then it isn’t very spicy at all. This spicy garlic tofu is a great vegetarian dish for any night of the week, especially because it only takes 20 minutes or less to make!

I’m usually not one to post comments but felt I had to after making this dish. The flavors worked together perfectly and the tofu really soaked in all the spices and sauce. I have added this to my recipe box and will defiantly make again.

Hey, so I was thinking of replacing tofu with paneer (cottage cheese). They’re actually pretty much the same lol, they just slightly differ in taste. Anywho, what I boiled the paneer before throwing it in there, with the garlic and stuff. Good? Bad? I always boil the paneer before using it in my curries. It gives it a softer texture and all that haha.
